"94 Bravada..if windows are slow u and down...would they require new motors? thanks
Answer -
DOUBTFUL. The tracks that run along the sides of the window channels have dried out and are causing the windows to most likely stick and drag.

Buy a spray can of SILICONE SPRAY and spray all of the window guides on both side of the window with the window DOWN

Also with the window UP you can attcah the small plastic tube that comes with the spray can and insert the tube down between the inner and outer window rubber seals that run across the top of the door panel to keep the rain from running down on the window and into the door and simply spray this silicone dowm inside of these rubber gaskets so help lubricate all of the mechanical window joints and arms within the door panel.

Those rubber seals are hard, rigid and cracked and my contribute to the problem. Are these carried by part stores..or a dealer?

Answer
These are usually DEALER parts department items. But being OVER 10 years old, I doubt the dealer would have them or would order them for you.

When these guide rubbers wear out it causes the window to move and bind in the channels.


Try JC Whitney's online website for these guide rubbers.
